* Patch #1015021: Stop claiming that coerce can return None.Martin v. Löwis2004-08-251-1/+1
| | | | Will backport to 2.3.
* SF bug #805304: super instances don't support item assignmentRaymond Hettinger2004-08-171-0/+6
| | | | | | Document a nuance of super(). It is designed to work well with dotted attribute lookup but not with equivalent implicit lookups using operators or statements.
* [Patch #1005465] Markup tweaksAndrew M. Kuchling2004-08-091-1/+2

* Bug 1003935: xrange overflowsTim Peters2004-08-081-9/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Added XXX comment about why the undocumented PyRange_New() API function is too broken to be worth the considerable pain of repairing. Changed range_new() to stop using PyRange_New(). This fixes a variety of bogus errors. Nothing in the core uses PyRange_New() now. Documented that xrange() is intended to be simple and fast, and that CPython restricts its arguments, and length of its result sequence, to native C longs. Added some tests that failed before the patch, and repaired a test that relied on a bogus OverflowError getting raised.

* SF bug #997533: "disjunct" should be "disjoint"Raymond Hettinger2004-07-291-3/+3
| | | | | * Use plain wording in docs for id(). * Use normal quotation marks instead of single quotes in the description.
* SF Bug #215126: Over restricted type checking on eval() functionRaymond Hettinger2004-07-021-2/+6
| | | | | | The builtin eval() function now accepts any mapping for the locals argument. Time sensitive steps guarded by PyDict_CheckExact() to keep from slowing down the normal case. My timings so no measurable impact.

* Change the treatment of positions returned by PEP293Walter Dörwald2003-01-311-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | error handers in the Unicode codecs: Negative positions are treated as being relative to the end of the input and out of bounds positions result in an IndexError. Also update the PEP and include an explanation of this in the documentation for codecs.register_error. Fixes a small bug in iconv_codecs: if the position from the callback is negative *add* it to the size instead of substracting it. From SF patch #677429.

* Fix SF # 641111, Undocumented side effect of evalNeal Norwitz2002-12-171-1/+6
| | | | | | | | Try to clear up confusion about the current globals being copied into a globals dict passed to eval(). This wording (more or less) was suggested in bug report. It should probably be made clearer. Backport candidate.
